oils. 1 have lately seen 8 little book en-
titled Minneapolis and ST. Paul, which

tense that the latter named city is In any
phase or feature the equal of this. I
became a little confused by the facts
and figures stated and determined to see
both cities as the best method of settling
the question discussed with so much
spirit. 1 have arrived st the conclusion
now that if these two wondrous cities
are not satisfied with their respective
conditions OF growth and greatness all the
rest Of their amazed fellow-countryHeu
